Breathing to Lower Stress In Your Body

"Breathing techniques have become pivotal in helping me manage stress in my life." ~ Fellow Meditator John from Cincinnati Do you wonder when this whirlwind of what seems like continuous tumultuous events will end? Although the pandemic is ongoing, we have a breather from the long-drawn-out political elections in the United States. It's time to simply breathe. This week, I invite you to slow down and breathe with me all week long. You'll explore a different breathing technique in each episode to calm your emotional state. This is part 2 of a 7-part Simply Breathe meditation series, episodes 2159-2165. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Breathing Quest. Every day this week, notice your breath.
